Hotel & Travel
Please Note: CECU has not given any third parties permission to block, reserve, or book hotel reservations on their behalf. If you receive inquiries from a third party to book hotel reservations, this constitutes an interference with CECU’s contractual agreement with the hotel. In addition, CECU has no recourse for reservations made through a third party. These inquiries are misleading solicitations to CECU’s attendees and exhibitors, which are not authorized by CECU. These companies have no affiliation with CECU. Please do not respond to these attempts. All CECU endorsed and negotiated housing options are posted here on our website.
Travel Suggestions The Louis Armstrong International Airport (MSY) is approximately 25-30 minutes from the Hyatt Regency and is serviced by most major airlines with multiple schedules throughout the day to cities around the country. Find the airline that is right for you: http://www.flymsy.com/.
